Why do men watch gang-rape revenge movies? For provocative commentary on complex societal issues, of course. And as the above screen grab shows, this film gives more of what men are watching for.

When the obligatory opening gang-rape scene is immediately followed by a weepy love song you know you best sit back and prepare to get stupid. By the time we see the gang-raped avenger electrocute a rapist and then, while merrily celebrating the execution, finally find true love with her killing partner (who we've already seen ice 3 suckers before they met) - which leads to romantic walks and happy songs accompanying them as they plan who to butcher next, before he cheerfully returns his dainty love to her day job of bob-the-knob-of-a-rich-fat-slob - the brain has been reduced to protoplasmic porridge, with only a single gnawing thought remaining: what was it like to watch this in conservative 1980s Taiwan?
